This module provides an in-depth exploration of AI, covering intelligent agents, search algorithms,
supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, dimensionality reduction, clustering,
support vector machines, probabilistic reasoning, Bayesian networks, statistical learning, and
fuzzy logic.
EE442 Digital Signal Processing
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: Senior Level Standing
Covers theory and applications of digital signal processing, including discrete-time signals,
systems, Z-transform, discrete-time Fourier analysis, frequency domain characteristics, FIR and IIR
filter design using MATLAB.

EE454 Power System Planning
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: Senior Level Standing
Covers power system planning, reliability in a deregulated environment, evaluation of generation,
transmission, and distribution system reliability, system expansion planning, and management in
electricity markets.

EE456 Renewable Energy Engineering
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: Senior Level Standing
This course explores electric energy from renewable sources including solar, wind, and fuel cells,
and discusses energy conversion, storage systems, and integration with the electricity grid and
smart grids.

EE490 Senior Design Project
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: ENG301, CEE205, Corequisite: ETHC305, Senior Level Standing
Project groups deliver their products that have progressed through the design, analysis, testing
and evaluation stages. The project teams produce a polished professional report that describes
the design process, implementation and testing, verification and validation, and a critical appraisal
of the project. An oral presentation and graphic works are complementary project deliverables.
EE492 Cooperative Education (Co-op)
Credits: 10 Prerequisite: Completion of 128 Credit hours
Cooperative Education is a planned learning experience, for which credits are earned, that
integrates classroom theory and learning experiences at a workplace. The experience enables
students to apply and refine the knowledge and skills acquired in a related curriculum course. The
Co-op is a supervised work experience in a position in the government or the private sector which
aimed to assist students in making the transition from the classroom to industry. Students are
required to finish 28 weeks on the job to earn 10-credit hours for the course.

EE499 Special Topics in Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: Senior Level Standing
This course introduces emerging subjects in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, covering topics
such as high voltage techniques, power systems, antennas, signal processing, and
nanotechnology.
